"I did not know that you were such a one eyed American patriot!

I have many good things to say about some American gear.
But that is not what the topics at hand were asking!"

I'm not, Pioneer. In point of fact, I'm not the problem. You are.

In your very first post you HIGHLIGHTED the virtues of commonwealth infantry, ranking U.S. Marines below, and the poor sodding American army infantry off your list altogether.

An odd way of saying hello. I won't go beyond your expertise on all of our gear acquired through your extensive "interviews". That one professional oddity of yours was sufficient to suggest strongly to me that your experiences have garnered you remarkably little insight.

In retrospect, the manner in which you entered this forum is astounding. Seven years of combat under operational conditions far more varied than any forces save the British (EDIT- and the Canadians who essentially have sustained a mech-heavy battlegroup in Afghanistan), and in far greater numbers, with FAR more telling effect, suggests to me that, more than not having the real and entire picture here, Pioneer, you're actually rather clueless.

Sorry. That's just the way I see things at this forum. Hope you don't take offense.
